Subject: (EE): Please Help - LCD Not Working


Hello,

I am new to this lark! SO don'ty be nasty please!

I have a 20*2  HD44780 Character LCD that is showing
little signs of life. I have tried everything in the
book to get it to work, Tried a maual test circuit -
as in Christian Burrows FAQ about LCD's

(http://www.teleport.com/~raybutts/lcd-faq.htm)

 and also tried a pic, But it still doesn't work! - I
go throught the power up routine, but then i get
nothing, or a black line if i turn the contrast right
up, HAs anyone had any similar problems or is it
osmerthing that just happens, I have two LCD's and
they both od the same thing! - Where am I going wrong?

any help would be greatly asppreciated! As i need to
finish soon! - IT is a college project!

Thank you once again

Robert
